Additional Comments:

EA/Bots/Algorithmic Trading

  • Ownership: You must be able to prove that you are the sole owner of the bot or strategy, and that no one else has access to or is using it. This ensures that the bot/algorithm is not being shared with other traders or firms.
  • We scan to ensure there are no similar orders on other accounts. We will also require a live video of you enabling the code on your own PC.
  • Exclusive Use: While you may use the bot on your personal accounts, using it across multiple firms is against Tradeify's policy. The bot should be solely for your own use within Tradeify.
  • No High-Frequency Trading (HFT) Bots: Personal bots are allowed as long as they are not high-frequency trading (HFT) bots. Tradeify has specific risk measures in place to detect and monitor such activities.
  • Compliance and Verification: Tradeify reserves the right to request information or documentation if our risk measures flag your account for potential violations of these guidelines.

Copy Trading

  • You may only group trade between accounts you own and manage. Copying other strategies or engaging in copy trading with others is not permitted.
  • If you choose to use third-party trade copiers, you do so at your own risk. We are not responsible for any errors they may cause, and support for such issues is beyond our scope.
